Creepily enough, that letter was purportedly written right around the time he body really started to fail him. He hadn't been looking great at all basically from 2007 onward.

Wouldn't surprise me if the thought hadn't crossed his mind around that time.
Man died via internal decapitation off of a safe back drop. There's no way he didn't know his neck was obliterated. There's not a doctor in the world who could have looked at him and cleared him. Dude probably should have been in bed the rest of his life much less still working

I already knew Misawa was insane by working in the state he did from 2006 to 2009, all because he had huge (dumb, fukked up?) sense of responsibility towards NOAH and all the staff and wrestlers. But that letter shows a level that I can't even describe, dude knew he was a bump away from death and kept at it :mindblown:

And we thought Ric Flair was crazy :wow:

I saw one last night about a fan asking Marufuji to take a picture of the fan and Misawa while Marufuji was still training or a rookie, and Misawa got pissed saying Marufuji was a wrestler, not a camera man :to:

In reality there is no way he makes it to the end of the G1 without multiple injuries :francis:
